CHECKING THE RECHARGING FUNCTION
In order to check the recharging function, measure the voltage of the rechargeable battery before and
after recharging. If the voltage increases to a certain extent, it shows that the recharging function is
working properly.
1) Connect the (-) probe and the (+) probe as illustrated.
2) Measure the voltage of the rechargeable battery
before recharging.
3) Recharge the watch by placing it at a distance of 5-10 cm under
the fluorescent lamp of 15 to 20 watts for 30 minutes.
FLUORESCENT LAMP
15 - 20 W
5-10 cm
4) Measure the voltage again while keeping the watch
exposed to the light.
5) Compare the difference of the voltage before and
after recharging.
Refer to the table below for the criteria of the
inspection.
